It's been a while since my last posting. I hope that does not sign I'm no longer stay close to my blog and you. It sounds cliche, but really I was exhausted with my daily basis work, and can't even think to make craft (I know, I have to make a better time management AND energy management here..). But hey, I'm not complaining! :P It's only a delayed work. I'm back to craft few days ago, and done

Hello everyone! How's your day today? A couple of days ago I managed to make another fold over clutch. This time I use orange fabric stripes as the exterior fabric, combined with coordinating solid cotton. I especially love the orange stripes, it's just brighten up my mood in the middle of cloudy days ^_^ As the lining, I also use the same solid brown cotton with full interface all around the

Hi everyone, what a nice day today! It is a bit cloudy, but it's just perfect! Another weekend means another classes for my postgraduate programs, means another studies are waiting. Hey, I'm thrilled, can't wait to get into my class :D Anyway, yesterday I manage to sew more sewing projects. It's a fold over clutch, and another simple clutch like I made before.

It feels like centuries since the last time I post. But here's the news, I made a new clutch. It's simple but clean and modern. The pattern is provided by KeykaLou. It is a super simple and easy to follow tutorial in a form of pdf file. (I tend to ruin my pattern when I copy it into fabric, so e-tutorial like this is a good way out because you can print hundreds of time ^_^). Originally, I made

Hi there...For few weeks I'd been thinking of making a brooch organizer. It's been a messed up accessories that I had, that needs immediate arrangement. Sadly, I seems had no time to make the hanging organizer, until today...  It was a perfect morning to sew, and I just cut and arrange my felt scraps on a piece of unbleached cotton, and sewn it. On final step, I took one of my hanger and sewn the

Due to my constant mobility, few days ago I bought my second laptop, or you may say a netbook. It's a Lenovo S10-3. I'll make the review on another day. For now I want to tell you about what happen next. To make it perfect, I also bought a netbook bag. I got one. It's a brown bag, with tosca pipping. It really is a cute bag. But the problem was that it doesn't spare many rooms for my netbook

This is an absolut happiness! Sewing another clutch, really brings me happiness. This one comes from Keykalou's pattern. A simple, yet cute, clutch. So, please do the honour to see the pictures ^_^ There is a pocket at front, ...a magnetic flap, and a sweet double flap ^_^ Happy sewing everyone, (hope you enjoy it as much as I do ^_^)

Still talking about designer's pattern. I'm trying another bag pattern from Napkitten. It's actually a clutch with a flap. It's a little bit tricky anyway, especially on the zipper part. Not like usual zipper I installed, it's an insert zipper. so the technique is nouvelle to me. But then, I manage to work it out. Making this clutch, I learn to sew pipping bias tape. It's quite intimidating at

I'm so excited with the prospect of continuing my study. On the same time, I need great time management and energy management, since it really consume mine especially in the weekend.

I wish I could always be as productive as last weekend. I made clutch and bag within 24 hours, and it was my first time making them. Now I'd like to share the messenger bag I sew. The pattern is made by Keykalou. I especially love this bag because of its size. It's not too big, yet you can put many books inside. This bag was made from unbleached cotton, which has good strength and thickness. It

This weekend I've been amusing myself by making clutch and bag based on designers pattern. How excited it is being in the process of making something, no matter how simple it is. Let's start with the clutch first. I got the pattern from June, a nice Etsian, here. (Pssst... I once thought that buying a pattern tutorial is a waste of money, but what I am so wrong about it.

After a little bit of doily, I decided to make another one. I actually found an old pattern on my files which I'd like to try. It looks simple, doesnt have many rounds to finish. It means quick to finish (I must confess that I'm not a very patient person -- guilty :P). Anyway, here are a couple of snapshot of what I'm doing at the moment. And here's a glimpse of the pattern.

Though sometimes it really need the gut to keep making things, I can just amuse myself seeing my handmade. Sometimes it is with wrinkle crinkle, sometimes it turned out perfectly. But, isn't that the beauty of handmade? Sometimes, you find the imperfections just beautify the things, and make them perfect. It's just like life. The most perfect lives are those with upside down in which you can

I'm back with another pincushion sewing. I begin to like this project for its simplicity. Assume that you have the doily already, it'll take no longer than 20 minutes to make. But what if you don't have the doily? No worry, I happen to find this pattern from http://crochetandknitting.net. You may also find other free crochet patterns for baby doll, edging, tableclothes etc. Have fun :)

As for me, I plan to make this cloth cute doll that I've found on http://www.cutoutandkeep.net. This website, as I told you before, has tons of howtos and tutorials.

I somehow could find tiny time to do a little crochet, and make it into a pincushion (I have none 'till today). I think I done it, though I have to improve the edge and corner. So, here it is... Here are how to make it: I crochet mini doily using

Felt atau kain flanel sudah dikenal di kalangan para pecinta craft sejak dulu kala. Yang menarik dari kain ini adalah kekuatannya untuk tidak rantas atau tercerai berai. Jadi, kalo untuk membuat bentuk-bentuk lucu, kain ini jagonya. Pola kain felt mudah di dapat, terutama yang udah punya senjata Internet. Tinggal tanya Mr. Google dengan kata kunci felt tutorial, atau felt craft. Berikut

All right, all right... the sewing project is still going on. Many things have to be done first before I can put it on my gallery in etsy. I just don't want to put it there before it's perfect. So, in the mean time.... I want to tell you that I have a great morning today. The best thing living in a suburb, and at a small town like mine, is that you can still catch little birds twitter.

Hi all... For some times I've been wondering and browsing for online shop, and found etsy. I just love to see many colors, many unthinkable items are sold, and what to make it better, it is pro-handmade crafter. So I decided to open a shop named BasahanAlit. There aren't any items yet, but I'm working hard to make the items within these few days. Wish me luck, friends. Kindly visit me there as

Button Blog adalah salah satu cara untuk mempopulerkan blog Anda. Dengan melakukan pertukaran button, kita bisa memperluas pembaca. Begini caranya: 1. Buat gambar dengan ukuran kira-kira 250 x 250 pixel seperti ini. 2. Letakkan di server gambar seperti picasa, flickr, photobucket, atau masukkan ke dalam posting blog Anda. 3. Masuk ke blog, pilih tab DESIGN, dan ADD GADGET. Pada pilihan Gadget

OK. Sekarang bicara kamera digital pilihanku. Judulnya PANASONIC DMC-FH1. Alasannya: Pixelnya udah gede, udah 12 MP. Zoomnya udah 5x (jarang-jarang ada camdig yang smp 5x dengan harga di bawah 2 jt) Harganya masih di bawah 2 juta. Katanya udah bisa High-Definition Video (tapi gak kupikir deh, gak bakal dipakai juga).  Nah sekarang gambar-gambarnya ya.... Pada bagian power on/off, ada knop

Eh, apa hubungannya kamera digital dengan craft? Oh, dekat sekali hubungannya, sodara-sodara. Pertama, gimana mo majang hasil craft-mu kalo gak dipoto? Kecuali kalo hasil kerajinanmu cuma buat konsumsi keluarga, teman-teman dan tetangga. Tapi kalo narsismu gede, kan kudu dipoto buat di upload di fesbuk, di blog, dan situs tetangga-tetangganya. Kedua, yang hubungannya dengan blog craft, menulis

It's the last day of holiday. Why I never feel enough about holiday? It's just so relief not to wake up early and doing hustle rushy stuff, and get exhausted everyday.. BUT, no time for complaining, for today it's just so lovely. I could shoot the sun for you, if I can, for it is shinning soooo brightly, and it's only 8.40 AM in my place. BUT, no time for complaining, for my flowers are

1. Art and craft are constant learning. You make mistakes and may want to take a break, but then you get up and continue. 2. Boredom and procrastination are your biggest and constant enemies. You at least have to win the ten times battles before they got weak. 3. I am easily get bored, and that way I might brake the fact no.1 and 2. So instead of getting tired of making craft, I painted out my

This is another try on making pouch. This time I use calico fabric which seems to have my favourite off-white colour. Other than blue and maroon, I eventually loves off-white or khaki, or light brown (does anyone can explain to me the difference?). So here it is. I add another pocket in front, complete with the ruffles (this is also my first try on making ruffles ^_^ how do you think it goes?).

Do you remember when I was posting on the link for sewing pouch tutorial. Well, few days ago I tried myself to do it. Anyway, this is the first time I learnt how to sew zipper. It was scary before, but after browsing and seeing few tutorials on how to attach zipper, the monster was getting smaller :P So, this is the pouch I made. A simple pouch, yet I know now how to put zipper on it, not so

Forgive me if I still smoothing my way of sewing by making another.... cover! This time it was pillow cover. I have seen some pretty pictures form Japanese Craft Book and immediately falling in love with this bag. Someday I will make that bag (I'm dreaming of it), but for now I'll just take the idea of the ribbon and use it on my pillows. Here are the result!    Is it close enough? Tell me

It is said that most of the things that are here right now is because we need them to exist. Many things are made out of necessity. And so is this next sewing project. It began when I got a package of external harddrive for my lappie (I'm almost run out of space here). It comes without a cover to secure it, so I think I should make one. Once again, I am still not really good on making pattern,

These are other crochet brooches I made. Never been the same as before 'coz I hate making the same things twice or more, so these brooches has taken a slight different pattern as I used to, and different color chart. The next brooch is a color swap from another one. I guess I just like playing with colors. Hope you enjoy it :)

Learning to sew is like baby steps. At first you are trembling, falls down occasionally. Walk again, still trembling, but getting better at time. That is how I describe my self-taught sewing lesson. My sewing machine is there tempting me to always try to sew. I am not a tailor-born. I don't take formal classes on sewing (except one short unfinished sewing program that gives me almost nothing

... when I'm still struggling with my self-taught sewing lesson, I entertain myself by making another flower crochet brooch. The sewing lesson is on the pillow case level at the moment (upload the picts later), but I am succeed on making 6 flower brooches :) Here are some of them...

Beberapa waktu yang lalu kesukaanku bertambah, dari yang asik crochet/ngerenda, nambah lagi jadi coba-coba jahit. Bukan... bukan baju (kayaknya belum cukup ilmu :P ). Yang pengen kubuat adalah yang lebih simpel, seperti pouch, clutch, messenger bag dll. Nah, untuk itu rasanya perlu mesin jahit. Mulai deh browsing tentang mesin jahit. Ada artikel bagus dari Mbak Susi yang punya http://

I got few holiday due to coming of a month fasting on this year Ramadhan. It means I'm so happy meeting Ramadhan and fasting again, and also means there is more time to crochet a little bit.  So far I made five crocheted brooch. On all of them modified a little bit here and there for every one of it, 'coz I hate making the same thing twice.  However there is one basic pattern for making

Sorry if it's taking too long for my next post. It's been crazy time where daily errands seem endless. Anyway, I want to take a close picture of other crochet I made. It's a baby booties. It tooks many times before I could make it perfect. (Lots and lots mistakes, yet it's worth it). This baby booties based on a pattern I bought on monpetiteviolon.etsy.com.

Belajar crochet/merenda bagiku seperti belajar di sekolah, dimulai dari TK, naik ke SD, naik lagi ke SMP. Semua kulakukan secara otodidak. Kalo sekolah, ya seperti Universitas Terbuka deh, bedanya di sini aku trial and error sendiri. Banyak ngerasakan salah-salahnya, ya salah membuat tisikanlah, ya salah menghitunglah, ya salah baca polalah. Pokoknya bikin bete! Tapi sekarang, setelah melewati

Crochet berarti merenda. Kita sering salah paham dengan mengartikan crochet sebagai merajut. Sepintas kerajinan ini memang mirip dengan  merajut. Sama-sama menggunakan jarum, sama-sama mengait benang dengan jarum, dan hasilnya pun mirip. Bedanya adalah crochet menggunakan satu jarum, sedangkan merajut (bahasa Inggrisnya: Knit) menggunakan 2 jarum. Dari sisi teknik, sebagian besar penggemar

Baru beberapa bulan mencoba belajar crochet sudah membuatku jadi crochet-addict. Pas browsing internet dan liat-liat referensi tentang crochet, wah ternyata aku gak sendiri. Bahkan ada artikel yang mengatakan kegiatan crochet hampir mirip dengan meditasi. Yah, getaran auranya mirip dengan ketika orang meditasi gitu loh. Kok bisa ya?Tapi beneran loh, kalo udah tau caranya crochet, kayaknya tangan
